Firstly I love art and different art forms but never have I really had the chance to practice or learn from them until relatively recently. Modern art leaves me a bit cold particularly if the artist cannot draw or paint what I call properly, generally by personal profession. Having said that the likes of Salvadore Dhail, Picasso etc., do really get my creative juices flowing but they were also exceptional artists. Having done cometitive photography as a hobby sometime back, I learnd alot about lighting and composition which I finds helps me quite a lot when looking at drawings, paintings, and evern photos. Although since the age of digital cameras has come in I no longer really care for photogrphy very much as the image can be too easily maniputlated.
